I loved this play. Beautiful concepts portrayed in beautifully creative ways. As an audience member, I was invited into a touching and thought provoking world that reflected the various perceptions of the characters that lived within it. The play has a clever humor to it, and raises questions about love, life, family, time, purpose and loss. The play was well put together and professionally executed. Staging, lighting, and prop use were exceptionally creative. Well done. Go see Dead Dog's Bone!... full review

Dead Dog's Bone is such a great play. The actors are wonderful, with Julia Finch's Virgin Mary adding both a great narrative drive and empathic commentary, and Luke Medina's Dog stealing the show.

OMFG! I loved the play!! It was brilliant, stunningly inventive, and moving. I told my wife as we were leaving the play -- without really knowing in detail what I meant -- "I think this is the future of theater".

I was moved to tears (my highest compliment in a play) when Juniper’s boyfriend compared her to the city of Berlin. To understand, see the play. And Dog's last words were perfectly loving, as only a dog's (or perhaps a saint’s) could be. The actors, the staging and the directing were all great. The pace was brisk and "taxing", in exactly the way I want to be taxed in theatre. I can't wait to see Veronica Tijoe’s next pla... full review
